Saggy Pants
Every day I walk down the street to or from the Metro station nearest NPR HQ, I pass at least one, but usually many, young gentlemen decked out in the latest fashions, from cap to kicks. While the colors and logos may vary, one thing never does: the pants, be they jeans, shorts, or sweats, are invariably parked south of hip-level... usually WAY south, as in below-the-booty. How on EARTH do they keep them up? It's confounding, and can even be a bit disturbing depending on the choice and condition of undergarments, but should it be illegal? In some communities, it is... Is this about legislating taste, or is this about singling out a fashion particular to a demographic? And do you see it as a first amendment issue?

Saggy pants will never go away...you're wasting your breath..in fact you're making them more popular.
Saggy pants make me laugh. How can you run? The funniest was seeing a young guy grab the knees of his saggy pants and lift up his hem to cross over a sloppy gutter. Looked like a sweet young lady from Gone With the Wind.
How about some legislation against wearing floods, paisley mixed with stripes, and those old guys that wear their pants under their arm pits
The pants are bad enough, but what's with all these boys holding their private parts as they walk along? Is it because the pants are too baggy to feel 'organized' down there? I just don't get how its ok to walk around clearly holding your 'thingy'
This is ironic. This became "fashionable" because when Black men were sent to jails and prisons, the generic clothing that was handed out was over-sized. Once home, those men brought their new fashion sense with them and hip-hop culture and clothing companies took it mainstream.
Of course now the same population can be be fined and jailed for something that originated in jails. Surreal
Baggy pants remind me of "full" diapers on babies.
Boys who have to use one hand to hold their pants up are suggestive and offensive.
Perhaps there should also be a law banning pants hiked up too high. There's a clear correlation between high-riding pants and memory loss, poor driving skills and reactionary politics. Something must be done!
As a body politic, have we nothing of greater import to address than sagging pants? Fashion will change without legislation.
An Essay I wrote about baggy pants some time ago, called "A Gravitational Enigma."
Our educational system is failing. As a father, I worry about my two young boys. It seems our institutions of learning are ignoring topics that need teaching. What they teach instead, I'm not sure.
For example, schools are not teaching children that briefs are worn beneath the primary garment covering the lower anatomy. Likewise, kids aren't learning that pants are designed to be held up with the waistband encircling a part of the body that is slightly thinner than the portion located immediately south. When I see young men walking down the street with boxer shorts billowing from the top of their pants, which cling tenuously to the decreasing circumference of their rear ends, my imagination runs wild. I can't help but puzzle over what bulge might be keeping the pants from tumbling down around their knees. It's a worrisome thought, for I remember boys from my own youth whose bulges were insufficient to perform that task adequately for a sustained period of time.
I recall certain events in my own life when pants dragging on the ground might have been problematic. Once, a stampeding herd of children in a neighboring community safely escaped from a theater that had burst into flames. In my mind's eye, I can picture today's youth experiencing gridlock in the aisles, unable to move, with the fire building quickly behind them. This would be a tragedy, all caused by an heroic young man savvy enough to lead the group out, but who then tripped over his pants that had fallen down around his ankles, effectively blocking the route to safe passage.
I also remember a certain duck hunting trip. My partner tripped in the muck some distance behind me and accidentally discharged his .410 shotgun into my keister. Only the thick layers of my properly placed dungarees, long johns, and rain pants saved me from certain injury and an embarrassing trip to the doctor for removal of a thousand pellets of buckshot.
There were also times during my economically lean college years, when I had to go without underwear for a day or two due to my inability to either afford or get to the laundromat. I'm sure university students today have similar financial and vehicular limitations. Just how do they deal with this predicament? If your son is accustomed to wearing his pants low, would you want him to go out in public after having been forced to choose between the several bad options available in such a crisis? Would you want your daughter dating such a boy, or sitting next to him in English Lit? Call me old fashioned, but this seems to me a matter that should be of huge concern to the public at large.
Now I must admit, as a male, I rather enjoy the current trend of exposing bikini briefs and thongs as practiced by the lovely young women of the world. After all, such garments are quite fashionable, and created by some of the most respected designers on earth. Unlike boxers, thongs are worthy of admiration by the public. Plus, the female hip system is quite versatile, and more adept at handling the load placed upon it in the form of lowered jeans or corduroys. Nonetheless, I firmly believe that our educational system has failed to teach this most basic of personal values to an entire generation. Something needs to be done, and soon!
Fashion is not only what you wear but how you wear it... i think we have bigger things to consider in America today than how many inches your pants are below your waist. Isnt this the state that is ravaged by murders right now??? They should be getting their priorities right and focus on some real issues... next thing you know we will have to dress in uniform after school. PS i am white fyi.
I was recently in Hawaii and saw numerous young men wearing their pants so low without underwear with their pubic hair showing. This was a public place and I refused to get out of the car with my granddaughter and expose her to this exhibition.
As a person who feels that saggy pants are very poor fashion. I feel that we need to defend anyone's right to wear their pants as they wish. Let the parents, employers and fashion trends decide how kids dress. Not Law.
Your guest should remember that it is the job of parents, not government, to force youngsters to pull up their pants. If this man's government can force us to pull up their pants, why cannot some later government force us to wear only long pants, or prohibit women from wearing pants, or legislate long beards for men and veils for women?
Is the councilman aware that public dress codes are rare among modernized nations, but very common in regressive authoritarian regimes such as North Korea and Iran?
The people with the real power to stop this ridiculous fashion trend is the young women of this nation. Why do they date these fools?
I was struck by the schlepy fashion sense of the men on NBC's "To Catch a Predator". Maybe if they dressed better, they could interface with women their own age.
Heterosexual men's interest in women is such that if women were to raise the bar, men would meet that expectation.
As usual, Neal won't get his guest to *answer* questions. Neal asked "Isn't this a first ammendment right?" and let his guest dodge the question. Neal--get him to address the issue! First ammendment is the issue here and Neal let it go. Typical bad pandering to his guests and poor interviewing by Neal.
Why do we need saggy pants laws? Why doesn't it come under indecent exposure laws.
I think that it is a very interesting issue but I want people to realize that this will become an issue of freedom of expression. I think that until people begin to teach common couresy as well as teaching children that there is a way to dress and to present ourselves. Etiquett is dead.
It's about time. It's a backlash and that is just fine. There is nothing 'tantamount' to it. It is ridiculous for us to abandon all efforts at 'public decency' in the name of being a free society. Let decency reign for a while - PLEASE.
Neal is dead wrong:
Re: the gent from Louisiana explaining about the ordinance. It is not a racial issue at all.
I reside in a suburb of Phoenix Arizona for seven years; Worked in the heart of the city ofNewark, NJ prior to this time for 6 years. The low slung pants is NOT exclusively black or afro american fashion statement.
Young white men in the suburbs here and all over the country wear pants this way.
Frankly, it may seem judgemental, when I see a yng man with tattered/fringed jeans - on the bottom - unhemmed or his waistline down where his bottom ends or his crotch begins I just think Boy this kid needs attention.
Its an unfortunate fashion for any who choose it.
We had some ugly fashions to but we still could walk, run, and sit down.
Laura H. child of the fifties
While the fashion of baggy pants is laughable, the proposition of outlawing them is even more so. As a caller said, "If parents aren't willing to step up to the task, then the law has to." Perhaps if these perpetual legislators continue to refuse to step up to allowing others to either succeed, or fail, in raising their own children; then we need to pass legislation to outlaw interfering from grumpy people.
It's a good law and should be enforce harshly. I hate the look and I'm a male. I see both blacks, whites, and hispanics wearing their pants on their thighs and I ask myslef how will they ever get a job looking like that. Which then answers my question as to why most that I see dress like that are waiting to ride the public bus or walking.
I'm frankly offended by the thought of *outlawing* a style of dress; why can't someone dislike something without trying to get rid of it? This, to me, is a huge breach of personal freedom-- yes, it absolutely is a first amendment issue.
Furthermore, as I listen to the interview, it sounds more and more like this law is an excuse to enforce personal prejudices, ageist or otherwise.
I am positively delighted that Mr. Toups has undertaken this important initiative to legislate decency in his community. My only concern is that he has stopped too soon. For instance, what is more disgusting than watching old men with bellies protruding over their belts? They are always having to pull their pants up, too, because their bellies are bigger than their hips. Even belts can't keep those pants up. It's revolting, plus it's a silent statement supporting obesity. Those men should be placed under house-arrest until they can keep their bellies tucked in.
Oh! and bald heads! Talk about repulsive. Put a hat on it, buddy... or pay a $50 fine!
Let's don't even think about exposed legs with varicose veins...
Yeesh...don't these town councils have any REAL problems requiring their attention?
If they get rid of saggy pants how are the cops going to actually catch some of those younger hooligans? They may actually be able to jump fences. I agree Kristina, that grab-run reminds me of some of ladies who cosplay at renaissance festivals and who try to run with the full gowns.
To be honest I don't really have that much of problem with saggy pants, however the line needs to be drawn at the butt crack. It goes to a similar issue with the ladies who chose to wear the super sort mini-skirts and the piece of floss they call underwear. Both "fashions" seem to be aimed to entice voyeurs.
What about speedos and bikinis, if you outlaw saggy pants you might as well outlaw them as well; they are much more revealing and depending on the person wearing them much more repulsive. Saggy pants are not my thing, but if one choose to wear them then that is there right. It is not the place of government to legislate fashion. If this law is not shot down by a court I fear many more laws taking away our personal freedoms and privacy will follow.
All you have to do to stop this fad is for parents and grandparents to start wearing their pants the same way. Depends sticking out the top of the pants should make young men see how silly they look.
I just heard the program concerning sagging pants, and I had to write. I sincerely believe that this style will go down in history as one of the most annoying, senseless, and moronic fashion statements ever made by any generation. Having said this, I have to ask, "Who do we go after next"? Women wearing tops that show cleavage? Men on bikes wearing shorts that show what the Lord did (or did not) endow them with? Where do you stop? If people like the Councilman would just wait it out, he would find that as all styles run their course, this style will disappear when guys get tired of holding up their pants by the crotch. Annoyed as I get when I see someones boxers, I get even more annoyed when people can't simply mind their own business.
Legal delegation over fashion will only stimulate the handicap that governs the minds of those who follow unoriginal trends. You will only discourage those who barely take their fashion seriously (who aren't such a threat to society) and encourage rebellion amongst those who naturally harbor antisocial behavior (who can be a threat to society). The legal backlash will cost more that the simple respect of our social differences.
I am outraged by Councilman Toups' (and all) legislation that outlaws sagging britches--even more outraged than I am at the sagging britches. Aspiring adults of all ages have long tried to rebell by outrageous behavior. It is our job as parents, teachers and role models to be outraged and sometimes to forbid such behavior. It is NOT the job of law enforcement--they have more important work to do. I imagine that most law enforcement personnel will simply snigger at such laws and do the real work we ask of them--I certainly hope so.
My uncle told me years ago (he is now dead) that he,
his brothers and friends used to sag their pants - in
the 1920's and 30's!
Yeah, and he told me at the time it drove parents
during that era crazy as well.
He went on to become the head of the european history
department at the University of Hawaii, was a
decorated navy seaman and gourmet chef.
Who knows where the fashion "trend" (and I use that
term loosely) originated from...
FINALLY, my son - who is 21 today - got the message
that the sag probably wasn't the best way to impress
young women, and now does NOT wear his pants to show
the crack of his rear end.
For some reason, neither do his friends.
And, as a mom, I am glad my son no longer feels the
need to sag his pants.
LEGISLATING what people wear, however, is another
issue, and it's something I am completely against.
What are people thinking?
Do we have so little to focus on that how people wear
their pants is something we want our legislators and
lawmakers to add to their priority list?
How about we focus on global warming, the war in Iraq,
feeding the hungry, ending child abuse, racism,
discrimination; I could go on.
Next they will outlaw tye-dye t-shirts. Geese!

Banning people from wearing baggy pants because some people don't like the way it looks sounds like a great way for Louisiana to make some extra money. $100 fine because someone doesn't like the way your pants fit you could really add up.
Louisiana should fine fat people because they don't like the way it looks too. Every time a fat person opens their mouth to eat fried food and their waddle jiggles it looks just as bad as someone's butt hanging out of their pants. With 70% of the people in the country overweight, maybe they just don't respect their parents, especial when their mom told them to eat their vegetables. $100 fine because someone doesn't like the way your pants fit you could really add up???.
So, it's not ok for young men to "sag" their pants but it's ok for women to wear tube tops and halter tops with their breasts almost completely exposed and also wear shorts that left the butt cheeks hang out? I just want to make sure I have the right idea. If you are going to racially and socially profile groups of people, why stop with baggy pants topic. Why not ban long hair or sexually suggestive tattoo's.
I think legislating fashion is going a bit far, much as I dislike baggy pants and the men clutching their private parts to keep them up; however, I think it is perfectly reasonable for schools, restaurants, shopping centers, etc etc, to set rules about how the patrons should dress while on their premises - like the no shoes, no shirt, no service rule. And by the way, while the boys' clothes are too big, the girls are wearing their teeny tiny t-shirts in a size that would fit a five year old, while their jellybellies bulge out at the seams, which is nearly as revolting as the baggy look. And then there are the brainless mothers that dress their little boys in the gangster clothes - I feel sorry for the little guys that can't even run without stopping every two steps to hitch up their pants. Again, let the brothers and wannabe brothers wear their clothes in the shops where they bought them or in their own territory, homes, etc. Stop subjecting the rest of us to your vulgar expressions of fashion.
there are so many problems in this world today. Hunger, homelessness, free convicted sex offenders who can watch but not touch our children and you are worried a baggy pants. Lets get real, I've never seen saggy pants kill a child, take away a persons rights, burn a home or leave people in the streets to starve to death. please tell me why this is such a big issue. tis world has so many other important issues going on how can we be stressed out about how someone wears their clothes. tell me how to save a child from abuse, feed my hunger brothers and sisters and still have peace in the world and I will give you a million reasons why this baggy pants law is completely stupid! If a real people want to be offended about something, Get offended about the way we seem to think we are free in america and still make laws to keep us all slaves in one form or another.
I can remember when the big news was a woman who was denied entrance into a restaurant because she was (oh, the horror) wearing a pantsuit. She removed her pants and was admitted wearing her tunic top as a dress.
That's about as sensible as a law banning low ride pants. Every generation has tried to shock its elders. How embarrassing is it that my generation is responding just like our parents did to our sartorial excesses.
I am from Louisiana and can tell you that we do it different down there. In my opinion this is a racial issue. It is true that other races and ethnic groups are wearing their pants low. This could be due to an African American influence just as hip-hop is to suburban America. If African Americans are being targeted for this what is next. Are we going to target those folks with numerous tattoos, body piercing, or punk/colored hair? When is it going to end? I don't like to see the pants hanging low either, but when you are implicitly singleing out a certain group, then I have a problem with this. In this case, we are blaming the victim and not the system. Let's look at the root of the problem before we jump the gun.
This is not an issue of race but public decency. We live in a country where freedom of expression is one of our founding principles, however there are restrictions where it comes to public exposure. I see all the time where saggy pants expose the undergarments, or lack there of, of a person and although it is a form of personal expression it is also indecent exposure. If someone is going to be a member of a democratic society they have to follow the rules set by the majority. It sounds like the majority has spoken and declared that style of dress as indecent. If this law is thrown out on the basis of one???s right to personal expression then I think we owe all the streakers of the 60???s and 70???s an apology for our persecution.
There was a posting that had this issue right. Banning low riding pants is not the answer; older adults embracing the style is. When parents begin wearing clothing like that the style will die an almost immediate death. Kids(teens) are prone to rebellion, Why "feed the monster". Like-- Hello!! All of us were teens once, we have been through this!! Embrace it and it will quietly die. I also think wearing a diaper that shows over the waistband is one heck of a good idea even if the diaper was never meant to be used. It would help to show really how dumb looking the style is.
I think it is rather obvious I do not like the style. Let's help kill it by embracing it
I DO hafta ask the question... Why are they willing to expose their butts, but want to wear hoodies to keep their heads and faces as covered up as they can? Unless someone can enlighten me otherwise, I must accept that these "individuals" are acting like criminals, therefore they should be thought of and treated as they wish to be seen... as criminals. This is unfortunate because I know a lot of good kids who dress this way, but if you try to look and act like a spoiled rich kid you will be treated like a spoiled rich kid. If you try to look like a prostitute you will treated like a prostitute. If you try to look like a criminal you will be treated like a criminal. That is the way life works. It will never be changed.
I think that the issue here is not Style, Culture, Race or any of the above. Those are just good places for people who dont want to deal with the real issues to hide behind. Instead of looking at the real problem which is parents not having control or taking pride in thier kids, instead they let their kids learn from the streets. If parents had this pride you would not be debating this issue. We lost the kids when parents stopped caring and reinforcing values and decency as well as teachers losing the right to teach because they are to busy deailing with things other than teaching. It's all about respect. If you were raised with respect for what is right and wrong you reflect that in life. They are not tought respect so how can they show respect for others. And the so called "Style" that's hogwash. The Style word is a place for this behaviour to hide behind. Young people know they can do what ever they want because adults can't do anything to stop them. Past generations knew where the line was drawn because the parents were there to show them and adults were there reinforcing those morals.. Parents are not there anymore for to many reasons to list so the kids had to learn from the street. There is no more respect for anything. To bad some things could not be gathered by the street sweeper. But with the country going down the drain like it is. Who Cares....
I think its a waste of time! singling out a person based on baggy dress(most common among young African American males) is a form of racial profiling and unfairly promotes an association between dress and crime.
Can the Woodstock generation not see the irony in these ridiculous dress code laws? Even if there were a remote possibility of these dress code laws being obeyed, how is it possible that the Woodstock generation does not see that there will be an immediate shift to yet another offensive fashion statement? It is the hardwired role of the adolescent and young-adult generation to rebel against the norm of the older generation. Yes, I am offended by some of the excesses of sagging, baggy pants and what that may expose, but that???s my role as an adult???to be offended by the behavior/fashion of youth. If young adult rebellion were not hardwired into humanity, no child would ever leave home. At best, dress code laws are just an exercise in "gopher whacking" by governmental bodies that should surely have better things to spend their time on. At worst, they are a step down the path toward societies like the mid-east where women are forced by law and upon pain of death in some cases, to cover all exposed parts of their bodies, including in some cases, their eyes. You may say ???never in America??? but I would have naively exclaimed the same about laws banning baggy pants.
I'm a substitute teacher at a large high school in San Antonio, Texas. I'm able to observe all students in many different situations. We're trying to estabilsh a dress code. One of the main focuses is to tuck in shirts and stop the baggy-saggy pants on the male students. What is happening is that they are tucking in the shirts with the baggy-saggy pants. It looks ridiculous. There seems to be a direct link between brain power and baggy-saggy pants. The AP classes have no baggy-saggy pants.
If an elected official that was being paid salary from my taxes was wasting time on something so inane, I'd be UPSET!
I just have one question. Does the law include low-rider Jeans for women? Lets not forget this trend isnt just for the young men its for women who show their panties and thongs. Or even the see through material from women showing off what color bra's they have on. Or is it that the older men that want to pass the law have no problem with the women doing it because they like what they see when its a women doing it? Huh....? Yeah....Makes since now.
Baggy Pants Outlawed? Good grief. There's a company in Michigan that has taken a different approach. They are giving the kids a better alternative. The company name is the Trash Pants Company. TrashPants on the web. I wonder if the city council will try to outlaw these in Atlanta? or Louisiana?
One of the reasons by which America was founded was to have the privilege of freedom of choice. if you make a law aginst saggin it is taking away your freedom of expression! you should be able to express who you are through what you wear
the mother and father purches these kids cloths, buy the right size and thay wont be around there butt.
Just because men like to grab them selves, and sag there pants, does not mean they are not a good person deep inside. Example, I have a friend who is so smart and intellgent that its not even funny. This friend of mine wears his pants low, and also like to grab him self at times. Why we will never know the answer to that. I honestly think young men do that thing because, they feel like they fit it, they feel like they will be apart of something, so they will not get talked about, meaning how they wear there pnants!Because most young men do that thing does not make a difference on who they are. A lot of people mistake young men and mis judge them because of how they wear there clothes.
We all need to stop and think about what happening in the society, and think about how we can make a difference in all of our communites! Dont worry about how people like to wear there clothes, a lot of us just need to worry about our selves and our own children!
booo to this whole debate....everybody wears baggy pants for different reasons...some parents cant afford to buy jeans all the time for growin boys so they buy em to grow into....im 6'3 and slim i cant ever find a pair of jeans that fit my waist n my long legs so im buy em bigger...i read they are talking bout fines and jail time, if i go to jail for my pants after everything ive done for myself and been through to get to this age i will flip out...ill be in jail for my pants and killing the judge...who ever wrote that essay is dumb..this whole debate is dumb...go do sumpn wit ur life lol
Why is all of the people around the world making this a big deal .This is not , why is reporter is caring about what other people is wearing or doing .All i am saying if you is not doing it, why care what other people is doing.
Everyone is so eager to complain about the guys and their "sagging," what about these fat chicks that dress like they are a size 3? Do you really think that society likes to look at that? If you don't like it, don't look!!!
I work in a high school and see these youngsters "trying" to walk or run to class and they can't because of their pants. God help them if there is ever an emergency! I see boxers,
g-strings, things that I have no business seeing. I hate the style, I hate seeing them "holding themselves" to keep the pants up. I feel it is not only ugly but a safety issue. BUT should there be a "law" about it? Heck no! I don't feel our law enforcement agencies have the time manpower or the energy to enforce this kind of law and they should not be asked to. I don't think a government should be able to tell people how to dress. This is America right? If the schools would enforce the dress codes that are in place, then parents would stop buying these clothes for their children. If the children buy the clothes on their own, oh well, if they wear them to school send them home until they buy pants that fit correctly. Tired of saggy pants but not wanting another petty law that takes away yet another small piece of freedom.
Saggy Pants...what a joke !
I am a high school student, and i just learned about this law in government class today and i was outraged.
Well this law just doesnt make any sense to me. Families go to the beach all the time and what do you see there, dozens of women in bikinis (which i am not complaining about). Now if thats legal then clearly this is all about singleing out a certain demographic that threatens high brow society.
Who cares if it's what they want to do let them!!!!What if they made fun of u cause ur paints aint baggy
i feel that boys should wear their pants any way they feel because they bought them so let them wear them baggy because i feel that if u buy your clothes you should be free to wear them anyway you want to its ashame how people try to tell people how to wear there clothes it bad enought that black mens were in slavery so let there be freedom bout clothes
This is not a fashion issue. It's not a racial issue. It's not even an issue about how low or high the pants are. It IS an issue about public decency and respect.
No shoes, no shirt, no service is now...
No shoes, no shirt, have underwear?
The states can make what ever law they want about that they deem decent in public.
Good. I would also like to see a law banning car radios with bass so loud it shakes your walls. To the crowd who says mind your own business, well you are making it my business the minute I hear it. Don't you understand people are sick of you. Same goes when I have to see you grabbing your crotch to hold up your stupid pants.
This Law is Such A JOKE!
I Can Not Believe America is @ it's height of inflation & Recession and @ the same time we're making a Law for Saggy Pants?
Tell Me, what's Next?
Banning children from running around in pubilc? [they're gonna have to be leashed]
Or better Yet, Women prepare yourselves!
-Not being allowed to show your stomach in public is Next!
the young people do where there pants below the the butt it is there apearance not your's. if people thinks it dumb so be it. but in my point of veiw it sould not matter what people think about it as long I like gangster. so thet is the probelm young teens like they look gangster.

Jackiechan042003 2y agoIt has its pros and cons. I added peanut butter and chocolate chips which was good. Very soft cake-like cookie. Something seemed to be missing though. Can't put my finger on it, all in all good recipe.
MaggzD 2y agoI substituted applesauce for the fat... The result was an excellent cake-like cookie with fewer calories.

Nutrition in Public Health: Principles, Policies, and Practiceby Arlene Spark

Nutrition plays a key role in many areas of public health such as pre-term delivery, cancer, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular and renal diseases. Government nutrition policy, therefore, bears a huge influence on the nation's biggest health concerns. There is a clear need for information on this topic that unarguably holds the key to the primary and secondary prevention of some of the major causes of premature death in the US.
Nutrition in Public Health: Principles, Policies, and Practice provides an overview of the field and focuses on the role of the Federal Government in determining nutrition policy and practice. Beginning with a review of the definition and principles of public health, the book examines trends in the US population and nutritional epidemiology. It considers programs to help reduce disparities in the prevalence of diet-related chronic diseases among various populations, as well as a detailed chapter on obesity with discussions on global impact and cost, pediatric obesity, and the impact of socioeconomic status and ethnicity. Specific information is included on breastfeeding mothers, HIV/AIDS, and prison inmates. The book offers a look at the current nutritional status and guidelines in the US before providing a set of tools for the responsible practice of public health nutrition such as conducting nutrition assessments, designing and carrying out social marketing campaigns, writing grant proposals, and enacting programs to promote food security and ensure food supply and safety.
Focusing on nutrition issues in the urban setting, Nutrition in Public Health: Principles, Policies, and Practice provides an integrated view of nutrition needs and the policies and political mechanisms that affect the delivery of quality food and nutrition services.

While Britain has maintained a reformed version of its House of Lords, New Zealand has lacked an Upper House since we abolished our equivalent back in 1951.
OPINION: As a country we pride ourselves on not having a seemingly archaic institution like the Lords scrutinising our legislation, but is the select committee system an adequate replacement?
Lessons from Britain are relevant to New Zealand lawmakers and to those who want to engage in our select committee process.
Our constitutional framework began by simply taking the British model and plopping it down here in New Zealand. That included an elected House of Parliament and an appointed Legislative Council (our version of the Lords).
In 1951, Prime Minister Sid Holland did away with the Legislative Council by appointing a "suicide squad" of council members, whose sole purpose was to vote to abolish it. It was a political coup.
So while we now have one House of Parliament, Britain still has two: the House of Commons (elected MPs) and the House of Lords (appointed Lords). The House of Lords in 1999 was reformed to dramatically reduce the number of hereditary peers and instead appoint more life peers. Life peers are appointed for their achievements and can't pass their title on to their children.
As a result, the Lords now includes Olympians, businesswomen, doctors, trade unionists, academics and others who have made an impact on public life. They come from a range of political backgrounds, there are Bishops and there are neutral cross-benchers, many of whom decide their votes according to the evidence and whether constitutional principles would be upheld. They are not bound to an electoral cycle or political whims in the tabloids and often adopt a longer-term and more holistic approach to policies.
Most changes to the Government's law proposals happen in the Lords. This is partly because it's seen as an expert revising body but more importantly because the Government can lose votes here and be forced to reconsider a policy decision in the Commons. Losing votes means there is less time in Parliament for the Government to get their programme through.
As a result, ministers are often open to compromise and willing to negotiate a policy to ensure the law is passed.
One recent example is the Public Bodies Bill. Changes to the bill, such as the decision to keep a chief coroner to provide independent leadership and training (like we have in New Zealand), was the result of effective lobbying from interested NGOs and co-ordinated opposition that led to the Government losing votes in the Lords.
Without an Upper House, our select committee process is even more important. These committees are responsible for detailed scrutiny of legislation and usually operate in a more constructive environment. Away from the TV cameras and the rough and tumble of Question Time there's more opportunity for open and honest debate of the detail of a policy - with partisan politics temporarily suspended.
Ministers in New Zealand are faced with a similar need to negotiate a policy, depending on the level of support from coalition parties and the popularity of a proposal. Just as British governments need to get neutral crossbenchers onside with legislative proposals in the Lords, New Zealand governments have to deal with MMP and the need to negotiate with minor parties. Navigating difficult legislative issues requires skill and nuance.
The House of Lords adds value to the legislative process by allowing for law to be made on the basis of arguments and evidence with a long-term view beyond the current electoral cycle. They are an effective check and balance on the Government.
Because New Zealand lacks an Upper House we need to work even harder to make sure the select committee process works well. We all have a role in ensuring our MPs are getting the right advice, thinking long-term about the impact of policies, and joining the dots between different policy decisions.
Whether it's alcohol reform, changing the RMA or the Food Bill, New Zealanders have strong opinions about the issues that affect their lives. Our opportunities to shape this country are not limited to once every three years at the ballot box. One of the great things about living in a democracy is that we all - individuals, businesses and organisations - have a chance to make our views and expertise known to change the law.

text: 3. World of Hurt We beg of you Dumbest readers, please take pity on the poor workers over at World Acceptance ( WRLD). While all the other subprime lenders are enjoying their summer vacations, these sad schnooks are stuck in the office finishing up their long overdue homework. World Acceptance announced after last Wednesday's shortened July 3 session -- right when Wall Streeters were jumping on the next Hamptons Jitney, mind you -- that it was unable to complete its latest annual report for the fiscal year ended March 31. The problem it said was because the company could not get a handle on its allowance for loan losses. World Acceptance did say that it plans to complete all the necessary filings by the end of July. Nevertheless, that did not stop traders (most likely from the third hole at Shinnecock, Maidstone or Atlantic) from dumping their shares of the company on Friday, sending it down 12%. Or perhaps they were shorting the stock, although with 38% of the float sold short at last check, we would have to think that finding additional shares to sell was probably tougher than getting a reservation at the Palm in East Hampton last Saturday night. And we can only imagine those short-sellers shopping in Sag Harbor were even more sanguine when World admitted in its SEC filing that "it is possible that the Company's amended Form 10-K will report a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting relating to its process for determining its allowance for loan losses." On Tuesday July 9th, World revealed that it received a notification letter from the Nasdaq that it better get up to date on its filings by September 3 or else face delisting. That said, delisting is a long shot since the exchange can grant the company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the Form 10-K's due date if it approves its plan to regain compliance. Whether the company's current shareholders will be able to hold out that long is another story. Prev 2 of 5 Next

One of the first cliches this book mentions is "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". He uses the example of Martin Luther king jr and Osama bin Ladin. The irony iis that our own government actually considered Martin Luther king jr a terrorist and had him bugged and wiretapped and our same government armed and supported Osama bin Ladin as a freedom fighter against the soviets. The people who did these condemnations and supportings were gasp... Not liberals. So is he a bad student of history or does he just expect us to be?
P.s. ask noted liberals Reagan and Oliver north about supporting terrorists.

The relationship between anisotropic magnetoresistance and the Hall effect was studied for fcc Ni-Co binary alloy thin films. The maximum value of ¿¿/¿0 was 5.3%, obtained for 75 at % Ni-Co alloy. At this alloy composition, the ordinary Hall coefficient R0 was ¿2.0Ãl0~12 V- cm/A-Oe, and the extraordinary Hall coefficient R3 was 0.6Ã10¿10 V-cm/A-G, or very nearly zero. It was also found that the magnetic moment per atom was 0.9¿BLB at this same alloy composition. All these relationships were found to be nearly the same as for Ni-Fe alloys. These results suggest that a large value of ¿¿/¿0 can be obtained in fcc Ni-base alloys under the following conditions: (1) when R0 is negative-valued and its absolute value is large, (2) when Rs is close to zero, and (3) when the magnetic moment per atom is 0.9¿B.

At a residence on Tonawanda Drive, a 79-year-old woman told police that her caregiver, a 28-year-old woman, just had sex with her husband. Then, she said, her husband left the house. The 79-year-old said she owned the house and wanted the caregiver removed. Other family members were contacted and they said the caregiver is supposed to be at the residence, and the 79-year-old woman has dementia and forgets things. The family said the 79-year-old woman's husband has been dead for 10 years.
A 63-year-old woman on Howell Terrace opened a letter and discovered a white powdery substance inside. She dropped the letter and started coughing and itching. The Fire Department arrived and washed down the powdered area. The envelope was sent to a lab.
At a medical facility on Peachtree Street, a female employee said a 33-year-old man became upset after he was told that he couldn't be treated. "I'm gonna get treated or I'm gonna break some stuff," said the man, who had auburn hair and glasses. He banged a clipboard on a table, threw a pen at the medical staff, and walked away. Then, he started pacing back and forth and threatened to come back with a machine gun.
At 2:40 a.m., in a parking lot on Armour Drive, an officer saw a Toyota Camry with two suspicious people in the back seat. The officer approached and saw a 24-year-old Duluth man in the passenger seat. His pants were down around his knees, exposing his penis. A 30-year-old woman, who had removed her shirt, "was crouching over [his] exposed genitalia, with her mouth on his penis," noted the officer.
The officer asked the 24-year-old man to step out of the car. The policeman asked how he knew the woman. The man said he never met her before. Earlier, he was driving around on Ponce de Leon Avenue and he wanted some company so he picked up the woman in front of the Krispy Kreme donut shop. She told him to drive to this parking lot and she would give him oral sex for money. Both were charged with solicitation of sodomy and public indecency. The man wore brown dress pants and a white, button-up shirt. The woman wore jeans and a flannel shirt.
A 26-year-old woman said her brother called and said someone broke into her house on Triumph Circle. The suspect(s) spray-painted the words "Fuck Something Whoe" and "Atlanta, Ga." on the walls. A stick figure was spray-painted on the door. Also, the suspects moved the woman's computer and AT&T Broadband system, but left them by the door. She's not sure if they are damaged.
A 22-year-old woman on Montgomery Ferry Road said the relationship with her ex-boyfriend, 32, is over, but he won't leave her alone. She said he calls her more than 100 times a day and shouts mean things through her door, such as: "Your father should be glad that he isn't alive to know that his daughter is a whorer."
A 25-year-old woman who works in an office building on Piedmont Road said someone called seven times and played gospel music on her voice mail at work. She thinks it's a former employee.
A 57-year-old woman on 5th Street won an auction on eBay. Via e-mail, she corresponded with the person who held the auction, a man who identified himself as living in Brooklyn, N.Y. He asked her to send the money for the auction item to a Western Union in New York. She obliged and sent the $2,300 to Western Union.
One hour and 15 minutes after the woman sent the money, the real person who held the eBay auction -- a female -- contacted the 57-year-old and said someone hacked into her account and sent a bogus e-mail claiming to be her. The 57-year-old contacted the Western Union in New York, but the Brooklyn man had already picked up the $2,300. She notified the FBI.
On Woodbine Avenue, a 51-year-old woman in a gray sweatsuit said a thin woman asked her if she had any crack cocaine. No, said the 51-year-old, who didn't know the thin woman. So the thin woman threw a rock at the 51-year-old's car. The rock hit both the car and the 51-year-old.
A 22-year-old woman and her boyfriend, 31, were talking outside her mother's house on Maxwell Drive. The boyfriend got in his car to leave, and put the car into reverse. The girlfriend took a backward step and fell over a stump in the ground. When she fell, her foot went under the car, just as the boyfriend started backing up. He ran over her foot, before he realized she had fallen. The woman had a bad sprain. She went to Grady Hospital.
A 20-year-old woman on Beatie Avenue said her child's father, 23, came to her house and tried to start an argument. He is angry because she is about to get married to another man. While they were scuffling, he hit her in the head with a soda can. Then, he took her TV and VCR.
An officer saw a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport leaving the parking lot of a bar on Roswell Road. The driver was going 55 mph in a 35 mph zone. The officer pulled over the car and spoke with the driver, a 31-year-old woman with glassy eyes and a slurred voice. She blew a .278 on the Breathalyzer. She was taken to jail, where she called the officer a "shithead." Then, she went to the jail restroom, where she urinated in her pants.
At an apartment complex in Gwinnett County, a 19-year-old driver accidentally hit a car belonging to the apartment courtesy officer, a 40-year-old man. After the accident, the 19-year-old man said, the courtesy officer put handcuffs on him and took his driver's license and vehicle registration. The 19-year-old didn't have car insurance. The 40-year-old neglected to call Gwinnett officers to the scene for an accident report. According to the 19-year-old, the courtesy officer said he worked for the DeKalb County Sheriff's Department and his license wouldn't be returned until the 19-year-old paid for the damages to his car.
The 19-year-old agreed to meet the 40-year-old at a business on Metropolitan Parkway, so they could get an estimate on the car damage. After speaking with his brother, the 19-year-old refused to pay for the damages and an argument began. The 19-year-old called Atlanta police. The 40-year-old told the reporting officer that he worked for the Department of Corrections and provides security at the apartment complex in Gwinnett. He also said he was a DeKalb Sheriff's deputy, but provided no badge or ID. He was advised to return the 19-year-old's license and registration. The 19-year-old was advised to contact Gwinnett County in reference to taking out a warrant on the 40-year-old.
All items in the Blotter are taken from actual Atlanta police reports and are public record.

The entire unit looks nice and works well enough. However, for the second time our oven won't ignite. A second replacement of this part in two years is ridiculous. Our repairman the first time said it is a faulty factory part. I expect so much better from a product made in the USA, and I am sorely disappointed.

Is great so far
By Bill
from Redford Mi
Operating manual for oven was a little difficult for me but later easy to figure out. Nice unit.
quite a change from my 60 yr old range!
By imacookin'now
from Fresno, CA
I love having an oven again. It's been fun baking after decades of not having an oven that works. I found the new racks were so shiny and slippery that I lost my first pan to the very back of the oven and couldn't make it stay centered. The non-slip coating on the pan just slipped away on the new oven rack. I also found that the smaller diameter of the burners on the new range make a small hot spot in my large skillet, so my grilled cheese sandwiches are only grilled in the middle, with the outside edges still un-toasted. Even happens with the very large burner. Now when I make two sandwiches I have to do them one at a time in a smaller pan for even browning, so the first one gets cold while I cook the 2nd one. I'm sure the same thing will happen with pancakes - I'll only be able to cook one at the very middle of the burner instead of 4 in a large skillet. I got my new stove at the beginning of summer, so haven't used it very much - it's just too hot to cook anything these days. Still using the microwave. I really like having a clock in the kitchen again. And the oven controls at the top of the range are easy to reach. I like having the built-in timer so I don't have to keep checking on baked goods.

great deal

I enjoy all the features and the price was unbelievable for the quality oven and stove!

Range came with a large dent in side. It doesn't show next to the cupboards, and a good thing as the Retailer did nothing about it. Right away the left front burner igniter did not work and I am still awaiting a "certified repairman" from Amana to repair it. I found out after delivery that a broiler pan is a separate purchase. Had I known beforehand, I would have grabbed the one from my old range.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Nice unit
By Mlou
from Leroy, MI
Really like this stove, works nice, wished that the stainless steel didn't spot so much on the front. Hopefully they can approve that. Overall a nice stove.
Great Range
By Janny
from Atlanta, GA
I bought this to replace an older gas range. As a senior citizen, the self cleaning function was important. The electronic oven is a nice surprise and easy to use. Overall, I love the range.
Great Features

Purchased this stove a couple of months ago and I love this stove.
I love my new Gas Oven Range!
By Jen
from Arizona
Our 20 plus year old oven finally gave out. I liked it fine but I had no idea what I had been missing. The gas burners are sealed and light immediately. The oven door is large and clear like a picture window. It will be so helpful to use the self cleaning oven feature. The only thing I wish was different is how rough the burner grates are against the finish. They also are rough against my pans. Other than that is a wonderful appliance!
Love it
By Vickie
from Binghamton
I love my stove. It was a gift and I have lived having it. Easy to operate. The only thing I would change is... I wish the area around the burners came off for easier cleaning.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky (WBKO) -- The annual Jefferson Awards Breakfast took place at Mariah's this morning.
Four deserving members of the community were honored with the award, after their peers nominated them earlier in this year.
Dave Tatman, who recently retired as General Motors Plant Manager, was today's guest speaker.
Through the Jefferson Awards, the American Institute of Public Service recognizes the sacrifices and accomplishments of people serving others.
"There are so many other people, that without their efforts, their commitment to do the same thing, I wouldn't be here. So, I would just like to receive this award in their honor," said Dr. Eli Jackson, Jefferson Award winner.
"What we try to do with this volunteerism is to improve the quality of life in our communities, That is what it is all about, improving the quality of life," said Christine Porter Coleman, Jefferson Award winner.
"I'm very humbled because our community is so great! I might be the one who started the organization, but I would not be here right now, if not for our awesome community, donating and helping me to get to where I am right now," said Noah Alexander Jones, Jefferson Award winner.
Tina Combs accepted the award on behalf of Dr. Bharat Mody, who was unable to attend. Dr. Mody sends his thanks for the award and said he hopes we can all join hands and not only make a monetary donation, but donate our services and time as well.

Tahiti deserves its legendary status as the ultimate honeymoon destination. The beauty of the vast variety of lush mountains rising out of the sea puts a spell on you. The fascinating atolls, with their incredible abundance of marine life and crystal clear water, make this place a dream come true. The ultimate way to enjoy this would probably be on a small private cruise ship, but we will have to leave that for next time! Instead we stayed at some of the best hotels in French Polynesia.
We just spent 15 precious days in some of the most beautiful corners of the planet. From space the earth would be nothing but blue looking down as the closest landmasses are 8+ hours away by jet (Australia, South and North America). The closest major islands are New Zealand and Hawaii, 5+ hours away. Tahiti and its surrounding atolls and islands stretch over a territory as large as Europe. The night sky is breathtakingly clear with a very detailed view of the Milky Way.
We spent our time equally between Bora Bora, Tikehau and Tahaa (4 days), each a totally unique experience. A boat ride to swim with and feed stingrays and black tip sharks by the pass of the Atoll is a "must-do" in Bora Bora. A three-meter lemon shark was in close range before I quickly got back into the boat. ASW members Sandy Ellacott and his wife, Hiti, are the people to know if you want to explore Bora Bora. They contacted me when they saw my itinerary on the Geolocator.
The Pearl Beach Resort in Tikehau was our second stop, located an hour flight to the North in the Tuamotu Archipelago. This is an outpost and gives you the feeling of what Bora Bora must have been hundreds of years ago.
The marine life surrounding our overwater bungalow was like an aquarium filled with sharks swimming beneath us at dinner time. Officially these sharks are not carnivores, but we did succeed at feeding them pieces of chicken, meat and fish!
We consequently limited our swimming to the day time. We spent the days exploring the wild beaches and pristine lagoon. Pink sand dunes with fish everywhere in the turquoise waters. A complete Robinson Crusoe experience!
Pearl Beach is wild and rustic and I warmly recommend it and its sophisticated and fresh food cooked by brilliant chef Jerome. It is also the only hotel in Tikehau.
Le Taha'a was our last stop. It is the only Relais et Chateaux in all of Polynesia and has the most exquisite location on the ridge of the Atoll. We had a beach villa with a different perspective and definitely more toddler friendly than being on the water. Le Taha'a probably had the most "exclusive" feel to it, accentuated by the fact that the global economic crisis and the low/"rainy" season (although sunny every day).
We left via the capital Papeete where we spent the week-end at the Intercontinental resort conveniently located a few km from the airport. Papeete is the largest city and port in the South Pacific and evokes images of a bygone era. It is far from idyllic but an interesting place to visit for a few days. The black sand beach by the Radisson should not be missed, with its direct access to the ocean.
We capped our epic journey yesterday with an "A Small World" drink with 40 fascinating Tahiti based members, followed by a dinner for ten of the country's key people in the travel and leisure business, including ASW members Christian Vernaudon, President of Air Tahiti Nui and Laurent Bessou, President of the Pearl Beach hotel chain. They are both true pioneers in Tahiti having spent 30+ years running the country's tourism industry.

Starting a Floating Network License Manager
This page will walk through the basic steps necessary to start a GAUSS floating network license manager on the machine which you are using as the license server. It is assumed that GAUSS has already been installed on this computer and that you have received your floating network license file from Aptech.
Setting up the License Server
Note: If you are updating from an earlier version of GAUSS/GAUSS Engine for Windows, please click here before proceeding.
- IMPORTANT! Delete the temporary.lic file that comes with GAUSS from your GAUSS Home (gauss16) directory.
- Save License File: Please save the license file, retaining the *.lic extension, to the directory where you installed GAUSS or the GAUSS Engine. The default is:
- Windows: c:\gauss16 [GAUSS Engine: c:\mteng16]
- Mac: /Users/YourUserName/gauss16 on Mac [GAUSS Engine: /Users/YourUserName/mteng16]
- Linux: The directory where you installed GAUSS/GAUSS Engine
- Open a Windows Command Prompt.
- Change the working directory of your Windows Command Prompt to your GAUSS installation directory with the command:
chdir <gauss_install_directory> [For Linux: cd <gauss_install_directory>]
The GAUSS installation directory for this example is C:\gauss. Your GAUSS installation directory may be different.
- Start the Reprise License Manager with the command:
rlm.exe [For Linux: ./rlm ]
- Start GAUSS on the License Server by using your Desktop Icon. If GAUSS does not start, see 'If GAUSS does not Start on the License Server' or Common License Server Problems
- Verify that GAUSS is using the Floating Network License
Test that GAUSS is installed correctly and the license manager is working by checking to see what license type/license ID GAUSS is using by clicking on Help -> About GAUSS.
If GAUSS is using the temporary license that ships with it, you will see a license ID that is all zeroes. If it is using the permanent license, it will be a 10-digit number that starts with 1.
- Set up RLM as a Windows Service
- If you have a earlier version of GAUSS installed on your License Server, please follow these instructions.
- To set up RLM as a new Windows service, follow the instructions here.
- To set up RLM as a system service on Linux that starts automatically at system boot time, see the RLM End User Manual for an example of a script for that purpose.
Note: Failure to set up GAUSS as a Windows or System Service requires that the Reprise License Manager (rlm) be manually restarted each time that GAUSS is started. See step 4 under Setting up the License Server on how to manually restart the rlm.
Installing GAUSS in a Shared, Multi-User Mac Environment
For all users to run GAUSS in a shared, multi-user Mac environment, please do the following:
- Copy GAUSSHOME to Shared Folder. Copy the entire contents of your GAUSSHOME to a location in which all users can access, such as: /Users/shared/gauss16
- Rename GAUSS Executable. Change the name of the 'gauss' executable to 'gaussapp'.
- Bash Script. Make a bash script named 'gauss' in the same directory (which should be /Applications/GAUSS_16.app/Contents/MacOS). The contents would be:
export GAUSSHOME16=/Users/Shared/gauss16
- Permissions. Make sure everyone has execution permission for this file.
If GAUSS does not Start on the License Server
- Verify that the rlm has been manually restarted. See step 4 under Setting up the License Server on how to manually restart the rlm.
- List the license files in this directory with the command:
dir *.lic [For Linux: ls -l *.lic ]
- Print the contents of your license to the screen with the command:
type <gauss_license_file.lic> [For Linux: cat <gauss_license_file.lic>]
- Check your computer's hostid with the command:
lm\rlmhostid.exe [For Linux: ./lm/rlmhostid ]
and make sure it matches what is in your GAUSS license file.
- To diagnose and resolve your error, see Common Floating Network Problems.

HYDERABAD, India -- Indian tennis star Sania Mirza insists
she opposes premarital sex, a statement that came as crowds burned
effigies of the 19-year-old Muslim over her earlier remarks
advocating safe sex.
Mirza already has been criticized for her tennis clothing,
usually a short skirt and midriff-revealing T-shirt. Sections of
orthodox Muslim clergy say she is leading astray young Muslims,
especially girls.
"I would like to clearly say on record that I could not
possibly justify premarital sex, as it is a very big sin in Islam
and one which I believe will not be forgiven by Allah," Mirza said
The protests were triggered by her remarks at a leadership
summit earlier this week in New Delhi.
"So there are two issues here, safe sex and sex before marriage," she said. "You don't want me to tell you that you have safe sex, whether it is before or after marriage. Everyone must know what he or she is doing."
Her statement angered Muslim clergy.
"If she has said these things, she would have nothing to do with Islam," Haseeb Hasan Siddiqui of the Sunni Ulema (religious leaders) Board was quoted as saying by the Pioneer newspaper.
Earlier in the day, small groups of protesters from the student
wings of mainstream Hindu nationalist political parties
demonstrated and burned paper effigies of her in Hyderabad and
three other towns.
Kiran Kumar, a student leader of the opposition Bharatiya Janata
Party, said young stars should behave with dignity and be good role
India's Sunni Ulema Board, a Muslim organization, issued an
edict in October demanding Mirza cover up during matches. The group
described her tennis clothes as "un-Islamic."
"As long as I am winning, people shouldn't care whether my
skirt is 6 inches long or 6 feet long," Mirza said at the
leadership forum.
"How I dress is very personal thing," she added. "It is scary
that every time I wear a T-shirt, it becomes a talking point for
the next three days."
In August, she became the first Indian woman to reach the fourth
round of a Grand Slam tournament, losing in the U.S. Open to Maria
Sharapova, then ranked No. 1. Mirza is ranked No. 31 on the WTA
Tour, up from No. 326 a little more than a year ago.

Spy Shots: Mercedes E-Class
If this is what the next E-Class is really going to look like, we think we prefer the lightly camo'ed prototype better. Still not exactly a beautiful proposition, it could just be that the car looks better in silver and black than it does in purple. If that's the final grille, it loses a crossbar from the current E-Class. And frankly, we wouldn't mind seeing it with that whopping emblem on the new C-Class front and center for some aggression. This could be a car where wheel choice -- and AMG package -- make all the difference. Not that it matters much, because it's an E-Class. It's going to sell like crazy no matter what.
